I absolutely love the concept behind this new game from Ambrosia. This classic side-scroller shoot-em-up looks like you are playing in a sketchbook with hand-drawn graphics. The game even lets you design your own levels and share them with other people.

The gameplay reminds me a bit of another video game, but I can’t remember which one, but the graphics take me right back to the classic 80’s music video from A-Ha for Take On Me. I had to watch the whole thing on You Tube again just for fun.

I’ve always been a big fan of Ambrosia for providing quality software at reasonable prices. In fact, AndrewWelch and I did a deal about 12 years ago to build a private-label version of the Eclipse screensaver (OS 7 or later only) with an admin backdoor so that we could still get into Macs when users left them locked.
